Hello Bob, Brain, Janice and Bud, Torrey, Janne and Vic,

As I wrote in my last post, it's a challence for me to respond immediatly to your lovely words. And that's why I'm always late (on this, nothing else).
But you know, now I can enjoy your words again, when I try to give some nice words back to you!

LOVE your vocal. You have great tone and it sits in the mix perfectly here.
Everything about this one is excellent!
Bob

Bob, that "Wow" is a great start to a review. "Superb" is too. Even the final word: "excellent"! You should have seen my broad smile after reading this. Thanks a lot!

I really like the story, as well as the way you tell it.
Who wouldn't be tempted to just leave this mess of a planet behind?
Very good production (your new studio seems to be paying off) and really good vocals.
Enjoyed my listen [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

Brain, what a title: "Spaghetti Western meets Ireland". Haven't thought of that, but maybe it has to do with the word 'Spaghetti'. Not my most favorite meal.So then I automatically ignore those lines. It also never came in my brain, Brain! (forgive me, had to do this one time only) . Love your review!

The fiddle does indeed give it a happy feeling.
And the piano interplay is very good.

We can relate to the lyric .. why?
Well as we often say to Peter, “beam us over there to Australia, Scotty!”
Excellent BiaB session guys, vocals, write and mix. ALL good smile
Far out!
J&B

J&B: Did you really ask Peter to teleport you to Australia??? That's not far enough. My sister lives there and always complains about three things: the heat, the flooding after rainfall, and the politics. Although life and politics aren't as bad as in some other Western countries, she would still advise you not to be teleported there. Maybe to us? It's crowded, but we have a lot of fun things. And you have me!!!
And our politics... Oh, a small country doesn't really make an impression. But thank you for all those kind words. I really appreciate them, as you know!

What a killer song and sound!
The fiddle obviously is heart of the sound and that baritone is the icing on the cake
I always love your vocals, and you sure did deliver a great performance here!
It's like a crazy dream after watching a spaghetti western and then a sci-fi movie.
Nice work as always!
TB

Torrey, when you wrote about what the song would mean in Dublin, you immediately grabbed me. I looked up the fastest route there. Then I realized it's much colder there than where I live. And I don't like the cold. But I really liked your comment about the song! Thanks for that! Although you did use the word "spaghetti." Did you discuss this with Brain?

And your arrangement are always so interesting. The combination of a baritone guitar and a fiddle is amazing, and the way you place the instruments to tell the story is very skillful.
Melodic and rhytmic, I enjoy the folky elements. And your vocals are strong carrying the song to the moon and beyond. The more I listen to this song, the more I find it extraterrestrially and supernaturally good, let's go to eternity!
Janne

Janne, going to eternity was meant to be a fateful ending. So your cheerful cheering about that journey, you really need to reconsider...
But aside from that mistake, you always put it so beautifully! I always enjoy reading your comments (but remember, I say this to almost everyone, so don't get vain!). Still, I really enjoyed reading what you wrote about my skills. Maybe I'm getting a little vain now?

Vic, you know how to stick to the facts in your answer. Short and brief! I like that, but unfortunately, I can't copy it. Thanks for your compliments and also for the lesson!

Have a productive time, everyone!
